How to determine the code
In technology without a screen, the washing modes will correspond to digital values. Are the lamps illuminated in which the numbers 1, 2 are encrypted? Look for the sign F03, F3. Remember, not everything can be repaired with your own hands, in order to avoid aggravating the situation, contact support! In non-display models, other indicators are used to indicate problems. For example, not the backlight of the modes, but the light signal of the temperature value.
Motor or control circuit problems
If you can't fix the situation yourself. Probably the reason is the wear of the parts. Need help from a specialist center.
Code F02
When starting work or during spinning, in the avsl 109 model, the display will indicate a possible problem. The signal makes it clear that the problem is with the motor or the motherboard.
How to solve:
- Try resetting the control system - disconnect the plug from the socket and let the machine rest for 15 minutes.
- Nothing should interfere with the rotation of the drum. Check if small, random objects interfere with movement?
- The boards may have come loose from the motor. See if everything is in place.
Other reasons for not functioning ariston avsl may be more serious. For example, a breakdown of an electric motor or a tachogenerator. In this case, use the workshop.
Codes F09, F18
Basically, these numbers indicate a firmware failure. The algorithm is violated, the technician does not know what to do. In Ariston Margarita 2000 models, the start start lamp will flash 5 times.The "key" and "lock" indicators are on, the mode setting relay scrolls and makes a clicking sound. In Ariston Aqualtis, the 40 degree indicator flashes for washing in cold water.
How to solve:
- Remove the plug and insert into the socket, wait a couple of minutes.
- Check the contacts, they could move away!
- If the problem persists, return the device for repair!
Code F18
Ariston margarita 2000 will report a defect with a series of 18 flashes with a short break of a few seconds. This will indicate that the contact between the controller processor and the asynchronous motor board has been broken. It is impossible to solve the problem without special equipment! But attempting to turn the machine on and off may reset the control system. It saved even in the most hopeless situations. Did not help? So it needs a refurbishment.
Water heating problems
Sometimes clothes can be washed only with hot or warm water. But the system does not respond to the given commands, instead of filling the tank with liquid, it drains it and stops washing ahead of time. In this case, the problem lies in the heating parts. This "household friend" will tell with the help of such symbols: F04, F07.
The heater or pressure switch is broken, signals F04, F07
The trouble is inside the device - in the breakdown of the heating element. To check, you need to find the heating element, check whether everything is in place in the structure. Use a multimeter for this. If the device simply consumes electricity, collecting and draining liquid, this is probably a pressure switch failure.
The processor does not receive data and because of this - a failure.Inspect the fluid collection tube, it may be clogged or leaking. If you see the inscription F04 - it's time to change the part. It is possible that the root of the malfunction lies in a small board, circuit and other information sensors. If you find the source of the failure, replace them.
Symbol F08
Ariston avsl models will signal with a delay timer about incorrect heating. High humidity is not only a source of mold, but also one of the reasons for the incorrect operation of the pressure switch. Check it out and dry it with a hair dryer. The hotpoint ariston device, when issuing error 08, most likely, will require the replacement of the heating element, or the flashing of the board.

Signals about problems with drain or water intake
The machine does not draw water, or vice versa, completes the process with a full tank, and the interface shows the codes F05, H20 or F11, let's figure out their essence.
Codes F05 or F11
The washing process started normally, but then you found that Ariston hotpoint stopped the work process. But before the output of the explanatory figure, the device made strange sounds! Similar to crackling or loud hum. An attempt to use the drain function will not be crowned with any success, and the same inscription is error f05 in the Hotpoint Ariston washing machine. In another variation - Ariston Aqualtis, the drain problem will be visualized by flashing two interface keys. They are designated as 40 degrees, wash in cold water.
You can help the machine earn in the following ways:
- Electrical engineering makes mistakes. Power reset may help!
- The filter is clogged! The fluid flow cannot overcome the obstruction. Thick fabric from clothes or hair from pets is often the cause. Clear the blockage in the hose yourself. Open the small door, you can find it at the bottom right. Remove filter and remove debris.
- Ariston Hotpoint issues F5 due to a traffic jam in the sewer. Especially if the liquid is drained directly into the sewer pipe. Redirect it to a bathtub or a convenient container, and turn on the spin. That way you will understand the reason. If the inscription is gone, then it's in the sewer.

H2O combination
Ariston Margarita 2000 was released at the beginning of the 21st century and marked a new era in the world of washing machines. But she had her own problems - with water. This code reports problems with water intake, and the device signals this by displaying the H2O formula on the display. The designation of the water molecule is used for a reason, marketers have moved away from the usual labeling in order to evoke a simple and understandable association among their users. This visual signal can be obtained a few minutes after the launch. What is the reason?
- The water is turned off or the pressure is not strong enough. Wait until the water supply to the apartment is normalized. Or check the supply valve, it may be closed!
- The valve is damaged. Faults and their elimination - replace the component with a new one, it is more reliable than self-winding with electrical tape. There is a risk of flooding neighbors at the most inopportune moment!
- The pressure switch is faulty or broken. He repeats the same action - he collects and drains the liquid. And on the screen H2O.

Other signs
The washing machine can also reproduce other characters.
Let's look at their decoding:
- F03 - the temperature sensor is defective. Replace the part or check the electrical resistance of the sensor, no more than 20 ohms.
- F06 - Something is wrong with the sunroof lock on older models. Or the buttons are not activated on the new ones.
- F10 - the device does not understand the amount of water level.Occurs when the hose is not properly connected to the fluid outlet.
- F12 - the relationship between the controller and the indication is lost. Reboot your device!
- F13 - drying temperature meter refuses to interact correctly with the device. The solution is to replace or repair.
Summarizing, it is possible to deduce a pattern, most malfunctions are caused by loss of contact in the microcircuits of the device, incorrect installation of the drain pipe, problems with the power grid, or a utility factor, for example, turning off the water supply to the house, weak pressure supply. Remember, most problems are solved by rebooting the device. This will help in case of failures of the control module, but serious breakdowns are best resolved in a service center.
Video: all error codes + error indication without display
Malfunctions and their elimination are better understood and learned if you watch the video instruction. On it you will see how many commands this household assistant can display on the screen! Thanks to visual information, the material read will be easier to perceive.
Due to the difference in the models of the Italian company, confusion in decoding is not ruled out. The video will eliminate misunderstandings and help you get in touch with your washing machine.
